If we receive data about users from third parties, including advertisers, this information is treated the same as any other information collected on our site.
Where do we send your data?
We actively understand and follow the best practices set forth by the Fair Information Practice Principles. How they’re implemented is critical to comply with the various privacy laws that protect your personal information.

Sensitive and private data exchanged between our site and its visitors happens over an SSL secured communication channel — signified by a closed lock icon at the bottom of your web browser or an “https” at the beginning of the address of the web page — and is encrypted and protected with digital signatures.

Data Breaches
If a data breach ever occurs, we will notify users via email within seven business days of the discovery. We abide by the individual redress principle, which requires not only that individuals have enforceable rights against data users, but also that individuals have recourse to courts or a government agency to investigate and/or prosecute non-compliance by data processors.
